Make sure you have notifications ON for the stuff you want to see and the people you really want to hear from.

Don’t try and read everything immediately, save things to read later using a tool like Pocket.

Are you drowning in tweets? Try using these Twitter apps. (Note, these ones are for Android devices, but many of them are also available for iOS.)

Are you finding it difficult to manage all your networks, i.e. read, organise and schedule posts? If so, then try a social media dashboard like Tweetdeck (that lets you manage different Twitter accounts)

Is social media giving you more work? For instance, are you trying to share stuff you find in one network with another? If so, then try IFTTT (If This Then That) which lets you set up “recipes” of what to do when a trigger happens, e.g. “If I send out a tweet, THEN also send it to LinkedIn”.

Can’t keep up with everything that’s being shared on your networks? If so, then use a content curation tool to gather some of the key stuff for you (Note: this will be Task 3 in Activity 4)
